Dowd, who had joined the Foreign Legion, shortly after the war broke out, was painfully wounded during the offensive in Champagne. After his recovery he was transferred, at his request, into aviation. At the Buc school he stood at the head of the fifteen Americans who were learning to be aviators, and was considered one of the most promising pilots in the training camp.
Besides this, it must be remembered that our ancestors' notions of propriety were somewhat different from ours, and well, it was about eight hundred years BúC! Whether love was a factor in her resolve we cannot say, but we are firmly convinced that, if it were, she was ignorant of the fact. It is, however, one thing to resolve quite another thing to carry resolution into effect.
The photograph taken, Guynemer flew back to camp. The best for him, under the circumstances, would have been to wait. Was he not hourly to hear that he might go to the Buc works for his machine? And what was the use of flying on an unsatisfactory airplane? But Guynemer was not in Flanders to wait.

It seems strange that the flotillas of air-craft at Buc were thus caught napping and allowed the German air-lieutenant to escape. I called in the afternoon upon Madame Waddington and her sister, Miss King.
"Yes" I interrupted "it was odd, wasn't it? a gentleman was still a gentleman, never paying his tailor's bills but ceased to be one if he cheated at cards ." Miss Sharp suddenly dropped her dark blue parasol and bent to pick it up again and as she did she changed the conversation by remarking that there were an unusual quantity of aeroplanes buzzing from Buc.
He missed it so much that the feeling became an obsession, until he made up his mind to leave for Buc before the day was over. Indeed, he would have done so sooner had he not been haunted by the idea that he must first bring down his Boche. But since the Boche did not seem to be willing.... Now he is resolved, and more calm; he will go to Paris this very evening.
Instead of making thousands of dollars this month by his fight with Young Ahearn, and possibly other matches with Bombardier Wells and Gunboat Smith, he, too, is on the pay list of the army at next to nothing a day. He is attached to the flying center as a chauffeur, and that car he is driving is his own, only he cannot take it out without orders now. Morning and evening they fly at Buc.
